Don't fret about brand of oil. Just choose a good filter and the right grade.

I'd ude a Ford filter and any synthetic 5w30. Mobil 1 is a good choice. Take your pic really.

Don't forget, it's not the oil that's synthetic, it's the additives that are. I've seen guys pay 4x the normal amount for the "good stuff". Multiply that over a couple years and you get the cost of a rebuild and the engine is protected just as well.

Your driving habits, warm up and cool down habits along with the proper grade will have FAR more effect than brand. Buy what you think is good but buy the right grade. Use a Ford filter.

The internet contributes to the BS, just go with what has worked for 20+ years.
